Lightly Seared On The Reality Grill

Another month, another holiday and this time we’re enjoying a rather pleasant time in sunny Wales. So sunny, in fact, that we were able to spend most of Wednesday in Cardiff’s Roath Park.

There is a lake, though, so it was probably inevitable that young Macsen would want to go and take a look at the ducks. All was well and good until Macsen realised that the two girls nearby were feeding the ducks.

We had no bread

Fortunately the crisis was averted by the girls’ very pleasant young mother who happened to have a spare slice.

Following on from the previous post, this evening I have been mostly drinking Krawatencross beer. I’d never heard of it before but, since it is the Luihoeve’s beer of the month, I thought I’d give it ago.

The beer itself is fine. It’s light and refreshing, a little darker than Duvel with a slightly stronger flavour and a much lower alcohol content (5.5%). It’s the sort of beer that I would quite happily drink all night without feeling any real desire to track it down again.

I was, however, quite struck by the beer’s logo so I looked it up. It’s a cyclocross event and from the videos on the site it looks to be quite a good one. We’re too late to see it this year but it’s something worth bearing in mind for next year.

Or 2014. They have a jeugdinitiatie which accepts entrants from the age of six.

Antwerp Zoo

No comments

It’s been a couple of months since I looked at what was on my camera, but I have finally gotten around to copying the photos to my PC and sorting them into folders. This, then, will probably turn out to be the first of several posts as I go through by backlog of snaps.

And where better to start with the trip we took to Antwerp zoo back in February, where Macsen discovered he had a real talent for stamping train tickets.
